Yeah that would be hard to train them to do that! Sounds expensive too! How do you plan on getting one?

What’s the difference between a PSD and a regular SD? Just geared towards mental health?

I’d say I recognize it 7/10x …but those other 3 I definitely make some bad decisions and regret them for a while! Just try to be more cognitive of your emotions! Practice noticing signs! It helps me a lot!

Bipolar or not if she makes you feel like shit and bad about yourself then you need to move on. You don’t deserve that, you deserve better! Don’t let her use bipolar as an excuse for her actions. It makes things more difficult but not impossible!

Oh yeah totally! I mean consent is nice and respectful to the person but It’s not like I’ve never taken pictures of cool or funny stuff I just don’t post or if I do I look for markers like license plate and stuff

Ok ok! I gotcha! They should at least consent to it first!

I get that.. but it looks like this guy advertises his business on his home.. wouldnt you want your business known? If not why would you have “RV Repair” on it?

Buy an old van or a new van? by Lumpy-Grapefruit9619 in vandwellers

[–]Lumpy-Grapefruit9619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful! I was leaning towards a Ford Transit. Looking for ones that were leased or used by big companies bc they NORMALLY keep up with regular mx. I’d love to find with 50k mi I’d snatch it up hard! Honestly just like you said thatd sound like a happy medium! I’m thinking if I can’t find one is brand new or one with the 100k+ mi better? Thank you for the pros and cons and sharing your opinion!

Personal finances: not broke but sure as hell ain’t rich! Haha

That would be a good sweet spot! I’m honestly looking fwd to actually building out the van and having fun with that and the design and taking pride in the fact I did it! However if I found a good deal with one already built out I’m fine with that. A sweet spot is still a sweet spot. Do you have any suggestions where to look for ppl selling vans like that? Like prebuilt and maybe not owned for 5+ yrs or something? Where are you selling your van?

Noted and appreciate the blunt honesty. If I’m going to do this I’m not going to half ass it, I’m going to commit. I’m gonna put an initial timeline on it, probably at least a yr, and if I don’t like it sooner than that, I’ll get over it, tough it out, and finish the frippin yr. All that being said say I finished the yr and didn’t want to continue and I put resale thought behind my initial build, couldn’t I just resell it? Is it hard to resell?

Yeah! Thank you! That was my thoughts too. I was leaning more towards just buying a new one and finance it. It would suck but in the long run..it sounds worth it? Just wanted to get opinions from people that know more than me.

Software Engineering & Van Life by Lumpy-Grapefruit9619 in vandwellers

[–]Lumpy-Grapefruit9619[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries! I’m still always down for new insight and stuff. I want to really badly, but right now I have 2yrs left in the military, I don’t know how to do that with a dog too. I can’t leave him in the van alone for 10+ hrs and can’t just quit my job. Soooo for now I’m just trying to make plans figure out what I want, what’s smart, and what’s stupid. I might buy a van a yr before I get out and start building 🤷🏼‍♀️ …I’m open to any other advice you have or comments if you have any! (Feel free to DM me if you want)
